Daniel Radcliffe 'flattered' by hoards of gay fans

The all grown up Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe, is more than happy to meet his male admirers and is 'flattered' when his gay fans have a crush on him.

The actor has admitted that his naked stage debut in the West End and Broadway production of Equus has won him a huge following in the gay community.

He explained:

"For a lot of straight guys - and I know I'm guilty of it sometimes - when you know a gay guy has a crush on you, it is the most flattering thing".

"My mum was a casting director and my dad was a literary agent and I was surrounded by gay men from a very young age. And I was the only boy in my class at school who had that kind of relationship with gay men.

"Most of my friends had parents who had proper jobs in banks and law firms so none of them had been exposed to homosexuality in the way I had - as a normal course of things. So they had a rather different attitude toward it than I."
